From her lavender coat to her purple and pink striped mane to her starburst cutie mark, even with the slight pudge in her stomach, Nightmare Moon had never laid eyes on a mare quite like Twilight Sparkle. She had her own grace, her own special way of things that just made the Queen of the Night’s stomach do backflips. Oh, but that was only scratching the surface. She was brilliant, talented, unparalleled in magic among modern ponies. Even Nightmare Moon was forced to give pause and silent praise the object of her affection during their confrontation. Strong, determined, and so very gifted. It had been then that her decision was made: Twilight Sparkle would be hers. Before sending her detestable sister to the surface of the sun, a fitting repayment for the thousand year imprisonment on her beloved moon, Nightmare Moon lauded Celestia for how well she had taught her student, thanking her for preparing such a lovely, delectable welcome home gift. If only she wasn’t so devoted to her teacher, Twilight Sparkle would be ruling Equestria at her side. She would share her bed and have all the love and affection a pony could dream. But she was stubborn, impressively so. She hardened her heart, doing her best to block out her suitor’s advances during her nightly visits to her suite – her personal prison. Still, that stubbornness was attractive. Like dangling a carrot in front of Nightmare Moon’s muzzle and telling her that she couldn’t have it. As she gazed upon Twilight Sparkle, watching as she read through a book on transmutation; a fine piece of work, even if Starswirl had been more interested in studying the Elements of Harmony than devoting his full attention to the subject. Nightmare Moon had, naturally, provided it, giving her highest recommendations. For a split second, Twilight’s ears twitched and her eyes lit up eagerly before she managed to regain control of her excitement long enough to school her expression and coldly thank Nightmare Moon, turning away to ignore her and focus on the ancient tome. She had been engrossed in that book for three nights. At least she appreciated the gift, even if she didn’t view it as such and audaciously maintained a bubble barrier to keep her suitor away. Nightmare Moon sighed, dispelling the aforementioned barrier with ease. It was all a formality, really, only Celestia or that damnable Discord could match her in terms of magical prowess. Though, Twilight came closer than any unicorn since Starswirl himself. “Go away,” came the usual greeting, though with noticeably weaker vitriol. Anypony else would have begged for a swift end should they dare speak to her in such a manner, but Nightmare Moon kept her temper in check. Her objections weren’t as strong this night, be thankful for small victories. Ignoring the slight, Nightmare Moon approached her captive, trailing a wing across her withers, delighting in the way Twilight shivered at her touch, her breath catching in her little chest. She could deny it all she wanted, for as long as she could, but Twilight would soon succumb to her love. “Nay,” Nightmare Moon purred, dipping her head to blow lightly against the younger mare’s ear. She nipped at the purple furred tip, giving a fanged grin at the way Twilight let loose a shuddering breath, tilting her head back and closing her eyes in bliss. Her mouth could say ‘no,’ she was free to do so. But there was no way to hide the way her body reacted to pleasure. Somewhere within her, buried deep, Twilight was opening up to her advances. Nightmare Moon wrapped her powerful wings around Twilight and ran her tongue up her soon-to-be lover’s ear, ending with a kiss when she reached the tip and slowly working her way down again. Twilight writhed and whimpered with every touch, trying in vain to push away and escape her downy prison. “You will love me,” Nightmare whispered confidently. “You will give into your desires someday, returning my kisses and touch with passion and love equal to mine for you. It can be today, it can be tomorrow, it can be next century. It makes no difference to me, my beloved little Sparkle,” she lifted a hoof and forced Twilight’s head to turn so that she could steal a kiss to that adorable purple snout. Pressing her snout against Twilight’s, their lips almost touching, Nightmare completed her vow. “I will melt the ice in which you have encased your heart! You will be mine!” She sealed it with a kiss, reveling in the way Twilight struggled for a moment before finally giving in and letting her have her way. Yes. Twilight Sparkle would surrender to her love, far sooner than she realized. Nightmare Moon’s conquest would be complete once she had captured Twilight’s heart. It was only a matter of time.
